I think it would be another white elephant project,if we really wannna deplay it nationalwidely....slow speed(if comparing to others countries) and expensive..
i mean the vectoring.
From our experience with ADSL (so called Streamyx thing)..
just my 2 cents.

yes,but their ADSL deployment is alotx better than ours since last decade, so it is make sense for them to invest some money to let the old DSL dinasours to spin a little more longer.

Just as MCMC has announced, government plans to phase out the copper based infrastructure in a few years time. So what TM gonna do with the heavily invested SUBB which based on the VDSL2 vectoring?

SUBB which utilizing VDSL2 technology can also be considered as 'fiberization'. It also known as 'Fiber to The Cabinet' instead of 'Fiber To The Home'

I think government will only phasing out the first mile copper (from exchange to the street port/cabinet), the last mile from the cabinet to the residential area will still in operation.

Anyway, just my opinion. TM surely has invested a lot on replacing the ADSL port to VDSL2 port by upgrading the MSAN cabinet and I don't think they'll come back to the SUBB and implement FTTH to that particular area.

Well, at least those 'lucky' in the SUBB will get 20Mbps if TM wish to implement that speed there. Things much more complicated in the 'grey' area, which doesn't falls as SUBB and HSBB. My area, considered as SUBB but TM didn't upgrade all the ADSL port to the VDSL2.

it is extremely difficult do phase out the copper as majority old housing area or even some new housing are still using copper (dun have fiber)

i am unifi lite 10mbps, got free upgrade last month 50mbps. and today i test my speed, download 70-80mbps and upload 50-60mbps. now, copper can get highest speed 100mbps.

Another "vaporware" from TM... They just want easy $$$!!!

Means you are using copper now?

yess, copper user.

how to know if your unifi copper or fiber?

r u staying high rise or landed?

if i'm not mistaken he is in high rise..

It's quite amazing to reach 100Mbps with copper!

however, it only reach Max 100Mbps
moving forward, those in fully fiber can reach 500Mbps 800Mbps, or GB soon
at the end, VDSL2 still cannot cope or support those apps require high resolutions

When you got download speed 70-80Mbps, did you do the upgrade to 100Mbps?

yess, living in high rise building.

i am got free upgrade from 10 to 50mbps last month. when i make speed test, i got 70-80mbps. my unifi portal, still 50mbps advanced.

free upgrade, how much u pay per month?

vdsl2 @ fiber ?

Oh man, then those in the SUBB coverage are caught in the limbo!

No steady price reduction but there is no room for upgrade too. TM's PR and strategic officers are not really using brains huh...
